Quran 47.4 When you meet the unbelievers in Jihad, chop off their heads!
wrote:
I checked this verse in the translation of the Quran that I usually use
(Dawood). There, it reads: "When you meet the unbelievers in the
battlefield strike off their heads, and when you have laid them low,
bind your captives firmly. Then grant them their freedom or take ransom
from them, until War shall lay down her armour."
Your version seems to somewhat misrepresent the tenor of the verse.
